You may be in a competitive mood today that could cause you to become unwilling to make compromises. Others may perceive you as demanding or rigid in your expectations, especially if you seem too focused on pushing your agenda. A good way to balance your competitive urges is by relaxing and remembering that you donít have to be the only person who wins today. The more relaxed you can become, the more positive your interactions will be. Perhaps you can propose a compromise and encourage your associates or loved ones to help you with your goals. In return, you can help them with theirs.

Working cooperatively with others helps us to channel our competitive feelings in healthy ways. It is often easy to become so focused on our objectives that we end up placing ourselves in opposition to others, even if we are on the same team. If we can let go of our need to win and relax our focus a bit, we will be able to accomplish our goals in a simpler and less stressful way. Our willingness to compromise and work together with others ends up being a win-win situation all around, because as we help others, we are also helping ourselves. With this selfless mind-set, we end up creating a positive atmosphere of collaboration where everyone can win. Choosing to keep a cooperative, flexible mind-set in your interactions with others today will allow you to contribute to a group focus and satisfy the needs of everyone involved.
